Up at 6.30 this morning like a six year old at christmas, first time ive been up before the kids in the morning......in a long time. It was the day to pick up my first Scooby!!!
Its a MY00 UK Impreza Turbo, standard apart from an afterburner exhaust. My wife was determined she was going to drive it first and that i would have to take the kids to drop off the escort that was lent to us. Off we went with the Wife following me, every time she pulled up behind me i'd see her in the mirror mouthing to me "I WANT TO GO FASTER". I had a few concerns that when she got out of the scooby that she would be complaining about the noise, but she loved it!!!!!! In fact she had a hu ge grin on her face and has been fighting with me all day to drive it, she normally hates driving. So all in all a good day, new scoob and the wife loves it, i even mentioned that i might want to go to a 'meet' with other scooby owners, i expected her to call me a sad tw*t, but instead she said it would be a nice idea and we could take the kids along!!!!!!!
So a big up to my wife, who never stops astounding and suprising me, but then thats why i married her!!!!!!!!!!!

So guess i might try and catch up with a couple of people somewhere around South East, some time soon.

Think it must be a power thing,my wife hates mine to look at but loves driving it,turns into a rep annoyer on most dual carraigeways lol (poor old mr beemer can't quite get past )

 

Hehe great post Luke.

Welcome to the 'silly grin that you can't wipe off your face' club !

Enjoy

 

my girlfriend loves my car, even accepts the fact that it means more to me than her (after 7 years in a relationship).

1) Car
2) GF
2b) Beer
2c) ****

etc etc etc

glad you like the car, happy motoring

 

its when you start waving to other scoobies she will start calling you sad
Its the socooby wave page 82 section 5.77.1 of the highway code.

Colin,Im in Worthing.
I did take the father-in-law for a quick spin up the A27 (my first chance to see what she would really do) and i just thought i may need to make it just a bit quicker .

And my wife has given the scoob a name.......... Esther, anyone else have a name for their Scoob or any car?

Luke

 

LOL

How does that old song go?

"Ah yes, I remember it well.........."

from Gigi IIRC.

Welcome to the fold..

 

hi Luke we are among the lucky few blokes that have a missus who loves the scoob!

you will have some great fun in your new motor m8 it's not just a car you have got yourself into

my face ached for weeks from grinning my t*ts off!

Hey Luke I know how you've been feeling! Pick up my scoob in 2 weeks. Had to laugh at the car naming, must be a girlie thing! My (ex) GF named all my cars.

I've had Amy the Astra, Penny Peugot, Vicky Vectra amongst others

I was gonna post a question asking if other people named their cars but felt a bit of a numnuts

enjoy

 

GF does the same, also she fills her car up with cushions, wtf is that about.

Slightly off topic, the same gf has cushions all over her bedroom plus a throw on the bed, which everytime i stay there gets thrown onto the damn floor.

Is there a purpose for cushions and throws?

 

This was my other halfs initial reaction when I first got the STi:


She loves it now and has a change of personality when she gets behind the wheel. I like to call the car Kylie. Every once in a while I take her to a nice quiet back road and give her a good spanking!!!!

 

<Is there a purpose for cushions and throws?>

I think it's just a girl thing, i've always done my best to not try and understand it!

 

When I drive my missus Beetle she goes mad if I don't wave at other Beetles (I feel embarrassed lol) Yet she couldn't spot another Impreza in a Subaru garage!

She enjoys driving mine though - as long as she doesn't hit boost....

And as for naming cars... don't ask - hers is called Molly.

 

welcome m8

i am a member of the "stupid grin on yer face club" also

i said to helen when i bought mines " no thats it 25k is all i am going to spend", 5 months down the line, i have got 3k of mods planned to happen over the next few months

she aint happy, but she loves to sit in the passenger seat or so she tells me

 

I'm another lucky one in the 'My GF loves the scoob club' !!

In fact its her who suggests the next mods at the moment.......

Although she dont help to pay for the petrol............and we NEVER take out her cheap as **** AX even if we are only going up the road........

She just likes being driven around.....

 

lol @ hugo

nice motor, nice name and great explanation for the name

 

My woman loves Scoobies too. She prefers to be driven because I am such a **** passenger when SHE is driving!!

She names all her cars and our WR1 is called Kylie and the WRX is called Snoopy. Just let her get on with it and don't even try to work out how her head works because I'm sure it is based around chaos theory!!

Happy motoring Luke.

 

PMSL@fitzsccob and the name people have giving their cars:

 

Wife loves our car, even encourages "spirited" driving at every opportunity.
What ever next............. muhahahahaha
My 10 year old daughter Boo's at evo's not sure where that came from
